HAYDN'S SKULL.
The Story Of the Mysterious Theft from
the Great Composers Grave.

Vn0 story OF Gn6 AyStcF1OuS 1ucLt IFOsu
tho Great Composers Grave.
At u meeting of the Berlin Anthrop
illogical Society recently were exhibit
ed a plaster cast Of the skull Of Joseph
Haydn and 'photograms" of the
skulls of Beethoven and Schubert.
Haydn died on May 81, 1909, during
the French occupation OF Vienna. In
1920 his remains were exhumed in or.
der to be transported to the family
vault of the Esterhazy, at Eisenstadt,
and the body in the coffin was found
to be headless. A search was made in
Vienna among collectors, devoted to
craniology, a sknll, supposed to be
Haydn's, was found and buried with
the body in Esterhazy vault.
An interesting contribution to the
strange story is now made by Herr
Frank1, viennese journalist who
publishes a document purpOrting tG
have been written on June q. 1882. by
Johann Peter, governor Of the impe.
rial and royal prison, and narratins
all the facts about the abstraction.
According to this story, Peter was
phrenologist, and stole the bead Of
Haydn in order to corroborate the
theories of DR.. Gall. Together with a
secretary of Count Esterhazy named
Rosenbaum, Jungcrmann, the director
Of Vienna lyceum, and Ullmail, a
civil service functionary. he went to
the cemetery week after Haydn had
been buried and despoiled the grave.
Then lie goes Oh: "The coffin was
opened. the head severed from the
trunk and taken to garden lhad in
the Leopoldstadt. There I had the
osseous box maceratcl and bleached
with the utmost care. and when the
moment came for studying it l
found the bumps denoting the fac.
ulty Of music perfectly developed ac.
cording to the indications Of DR..
Gall. also noted on the nasal bones
the traces Of the polypearian tumors
from which Haydn suffered so much
during his lifetime. After which !
had u casket made Of vanished wood
in the form Of a sarcophagus orna.
mented with tho gilt Tyre wherein l
deposited this precious skull The box
was lined with velvet and the skull lay
on silken cushion"
When the search was made IN 1920
Peter was suspected. and being prom
ised immunity from punishment. he
applied 10 Rosenbaum, to whom he had
given tho relic. Rosenbaum handed
him skull with tho assurance that it
was Haydn's and it was given up to
the police and buried. On his DEATH
bed Roscnbaum sent for Peter and told
him that the true skull had not been
given up. He handed ii over to Pete,
with the suggestion that on his death.
he bequeath it to the Conservatory OF
Music. This disposition was made Of

HUNTING THE CooN.-Coon hunting,

hunters have abandoned the chase, and the
coon and the colored people are the only
ones who seem low to take any interest In
tina snort Coons are said to be plentiful
this wear in some portions of tine county, and
hunting them is generally considered to be
fine sport. One of our Eastern Shore ex-
changes tells how to hunt them. 1t says ::
This little animal, when chased from q
cornGeld by lively pack of hounds some
times runs TWO or three miles before he is
driven up tree, but his route is often cir
cuitous and the hunter alwaysin GOOD near
ing distance. AS general thing, however,
he is driven TO tree N twenty minutes
after the dogs are hot on MS trali tuen
comes the tug of war, the fight. lgnteo
torch is produced, and, when not shot, the
'vsrnint' is shaken out of the tree by the
hest Der, when scene OF the widest
excitement eneues. The coon is vicious
fighter and dies games. He has been known
TO fall in the midst of a half dozen dogs, ana
then make his escape. The hours Tor hunt-
ing ere between 8 o'clock in the morning
and daylight. For years the coon has been
highly priced as dainty dish by the color
ed man but not until later years did the
male face find out how savory dish 1t
was when properly served; the black man
knowingly kept him 10 ignorance of it, be-
cause during slavery times, it was bis chiel
